Philip and Jodi discuss 2010's 'TRON: Legacy,' the long-awaited sequel to 1982's 'TRON' starring Jeff Bridges as a plucky computer programmer who gets sucked into the computer world. This seminal "legacy sequel" from Joseph Kosinski, who would go on to direct the 2022 mega-hit 'Top Gun: Maverick,' also stars Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn and centers around Kevin's son Sam, who lost contact with his father who has been missing since 1989. Bruce Boxleitner returns as Alan Bradley/Tron and Olivia Wilde costars as the enigmatic Quorra. Sam and Alan receive their first sign of contact from Kevin in two decades, and Sam's investigation leads him to the mythical "digital frontier" from his father's bedtime stories. Though a third TRON film has long been rumored, the series has seen some recent rejuvenation with Walt Disney World attraction 'TRON: Lightcycle Run,' which opened in Magic Kingdom in April 2023.

For decades, motion capture has been Hollywood's secret weapon—locked behind $15,000-per-day price tags and exclusive studio connections. If you weren't a major publisher with deep pockets, cinematic-quality character animation simply wasn't accessible.
That era is over.
In this episode, we break down exactly how motion capture technology has evolved, why the pricing models haven't kept pace, and what it actually takes to add Hollywood-grade MoCap to your indie game, animated short, or virtual production—without betting your entire budget on a single shoot day.

Mocap101 · Ep01 – Motion Capture Is Now Accessible For Indies

Motion capture isn't a single skill you learn once and master forever. It's a journey through four distinct phases—each with its own challenges, breakthroughs, and strategic decisions that separate good results from legendary ones.
Most creators approach MoCap thinking it's just about technology: rent the equipment, capture the movement, done. But the studios creating genuinely memorable characters understand something deeper. They know which phase they're in, what that phase demands, and when to level up.
This episode breaks down the complete motion capture mastery framework—from your first experimental session to production-ready workflows that deliver cinematic results consistently. No matter where you are in your journey, understanding these four phases helps you make better decisions about technology investment, team building, and creative ambition.
